"The situation in the palace has been calmed down for the time being, but the people are panicking, and the people in the palace will be rumored in a short time. lā”

Li Hongyu took a sip of a cup of hot tea, smiled bitterly and said, "Today, the presiding judge has decided, and after the court push of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhang Sheng, the superintendent of the Shandong Provincial Supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has been able to serve as the chief judge of the case of breaking into the palace, and the case will be investigated soon." ”

"Zhang Yushi?" Qin Yue, who was massaging Li Hongyu's shoulder, was suddenly slightly stunned, thinking that she had misheard, but she didn't expect that the result of Tingtui was to let Zhang Sheng be the chief judge.

Zhang Sheng is the second class jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, and the cabinet assistant is from the same department, at this time he is over sixty years old, and he has been working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than 30 years.

However, Zhang Shengneng has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than 30 years and has not been promoted to an official position, which is enough to see how capable he is.

In fact, in addition to Zhang Sheng's weak personality and lack of assertiveness, and he is not good at dealing with people, the reason why he has been staying in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is that Emperor Wanli adopted the principle of "only going out and not entering" for speech officials, and did not fill the official vacancies of speech officials.

The object of Emperor Wanli's policy was the imperial history of the Imperial Court and the six departments of the Imperial Procuratorate, which made the imperial history and the six departments seriously lacking personnel.

In this situation, many of the Imperial History and Six Departments who remained in office gave up the opportunity to be promoted, otherwise there would be no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments, and the civil official group obviously did not want to see this situation.

Because Zhang Sheng's qualifications are too old, he originally had the opportunity to be promoted to a foreign place as a prefect, after all, there are also rules in the officialdom, and it is important to pay attention to seniority.

However, Zhang Sheng was accustomed to the comfort and dignity of the imperial history, so he declined the promotion opportunity and did not want to be sent to the local government to be the prefect.

Don't look at the prefect is the fourth grade higher than the seventh grade of the imperial history, but the status of the imperial history in the officialdom is higher than that of the prefect, but if you want to go further in the career and become a member of the ministry, you must have the experience of serving in the local government, which is the so-called resume.

In addition, the advantage of being a prefect is that he can make a lot of oil and water, has a lot of real power, and is an out-and-out local overlord, which is incomparable to the imperial history.

Zhang Sheng is self-aware, knowing that he has no talent to govern the place, although the imperial history cannot be as beautiful as the prefect, but he is also worry-free, he is very satisfied with his current life.

Qin Yue now knows the characters of officialdom well, so she knows the details of Zhang Sheng.

To put it mildly, Zhang Sheng, who is obscure in Taoguang, is the standard corpse vegetarian in the officialdom, although he has the position of imperial history, he has never exercised the fact of imperial history, he is a good man in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has never investigated a case before.

Therefore, Qin Yue really couldn't imagine why he would choose a "three-no" official like Zhang Sheng, who was neither capable nor enterprising, but also had no responsibility, to be the chief judge of the case of breaking into the palace.

In fact, not only Li Hongyu, but also the court officials who participated in Tingtui knew that Zhang Sheng was not suitable to try the case of breaking into the palace, but Tingtui still passed Zhang Sheng's nomination, and there were naturally many hidden secrets in it.

Zhang Sheng's appointment as the chief judge of the palace invasion case was put forward by an official of the Donglin Party on the grounds that he was highly qualified, experienced, and calm, and he was the best candidate to handle the case.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Sheng's ranking in the second class of the palace examination in the eleventh year of Wanli is higher than that of the cabinet auxiliary Fang Congzhe, so even Fang Congzhe has to call Zhang Sheng "Brother Nian", which can be seen in the work of seniority.

Of course, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang will definitely oppose Zhang Sheng as the chief judge, so Zhang Sheng will definitely be at the mercy of the Donglin Party, and then cover up the truth of the palace breaking case.

As the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties quarreled-for-tat in the court, the situation on the scene became more and more hot, and when they were about to start, the neutral officials of the imperial court, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened their mouths to express their attitude and supported Zhang Sheng as the chief judge, which made the Donglin Party win the final victory.

After careful consideration and weighing left and right, Zhou Jiamo and other neutral officials felt that the palace invasion case was related to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and the stability of the court, and it was not appropriate to make the situation bigger.

In the final analysis, the Donglin Party officials broke into the palace this time in order to support Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne and pro-government, although the crime is unforgivable but excusable, and even Zhu Youxiao has no intention of pursuing it, so Zhou Jiamo and other neutral officials naturally don't want this matter to make a storm in the city, otherwise where is the royal face and the integrity of the literati?

It can be said that this court push ended with the victory of the Donglin Party, which means that the case of breaking into the palace will definitely not cause harm to the Donglin Party.

When Li Hongyu told Qin Yue about Tingtui's experience, Qin Yue couldn't help but shake her head and feel disappointed for a while, she didn't expect that such a shocking case would be handled so confusingly.

"Brother Yu, where will the Queen Mother live after the emperor ascends the throne?"

When she was disappointed, Qin Yue remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Li Hongyu curiously, the news of the people in the capital has always been well-informed, and it is related to the royal family, so where Empress Li wants to move to live has now become the focus of attention of the people.

"The emperor wanted the queen mother to temporarily live in Kunning Palace, but unfortunately she was opposed by the Donglin party, and she couldn't make a choice for a while."

Li Hongyu sighed, frowned slightly and said, "Now that the emperor's enthronement ceremony is about to be held, the emperor can still stay in Qingning Palace now, but once the world is announced, then it is really not suitable to live there anymore, the queen mother is a reasonable person, and it will not make it difficult for the emperor." ”

"Brother Yu, do you mean that the Queen Mother is going to the Cold Palace?" Qin Yue's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise when she heard this, she thought that Empress Li was going to Cining Palace to live with Empress Dowager Zheng, but it didn't seem to be the case when she heard Li Hongyu's words.

"Cining Palace can only live in one person, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother to live in the Queen's Kunning Palace, and her qualifications and prestige cannot be compared with the Queen Mother, so she can only live in the Cold Palace."

Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, then thought for a while and said, "Actually, the Queen Mother still has a place to go, but the people in Donglin will still oppose it." ”

"Brother Yu, do you mean Qingning Palace?" Qin Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately understood what Li Hongyu meant.

Empress Dowager Li lived in Qingning Palace as soon as she entered the palace, and even if Zhu Youxiao had a prince, he would not be able to live in Qingning Palace until the prince was more than ten years old, so Empress Dowager Li could live in Qingning Palace during this time.

"It's not so easy for the Queen Mother to live in Qingning Palace, I'm afraid she will have to suffer some twists and turns." Li Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head, and said with a slight frown, "Perhaps, Qingning Palace is the best destination for the Queen Mother." ”

Obviously, the people of the Donglin Party are bent on putting Empress Dowager Li to death, and they will definitely prevent Empress Dowager Li from living in Qingning Palace on the grounds of etiquette, which makes Empress Dowager Li have no choice but to go to the cold palace.

However, according to Li Hongyu's memory, Empress Dowager Li took on the responsibility of raising Zhu Youzhen after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and Zhu Youzhen even wrote a book to recall Empress Dowager Li's nurturing grace to him after he ascended the throne.

In that case, Empress Dowager Li should not live in the cold palace, because Zhu Youzhen is obviously impossible to be in the cold palace, there must be something going on here, but Li Hongyu doesn't know.

Qin Yue suddenly fell silent when she heard this, and couldn't help but sympathize with the Empress Dowager Li in her heart, she could have listened to the government as the Empress Dowager in a beautiful manner, even if she didn't live in the Qianqing Palace, she could live in Kunning Palace, who would have thought that suddenly because of the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace, she would end up in such a bleak end, and fall to the point of living in the cold palace.

In the final analysis, Empress Dowager Li had no foundation in the court, so she was easily defeated because of the palace invasion.

No matter how much the Empress Dowager Zheng said that she had a close relationship with the nobles in the capital, although she lost power, the civil official group did not dare to offend easily, let alone let her let Cining Palace give up a Empress Dowager Li.

Soon, the twenty-seven days of Emperor Taichang's funeral ended, and the Susu on the surface of the capital city was cleaned up overnight.

The people changed into colorful costumes, and the civil and military officials also took off their filial piety clothes and prepared brightly colored dresses, preparing to participate in the enthronement ceremony to welcome Zhu Youxiao.

At the end of October, the much-anticipated enthronement ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace, and the scene was grand and grand.

For the people of the capital, Wanli is destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime, and in this year, they experienced two ceremonies of the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's enthronement in just three months, which can be said to have created a historical precedent.

Li Hongyu, as the assistant minister of Tuogu appointed by Emperor Taichang, naturally stood at the forefront of the civil and military officials together with other auxiliary ministers.

This is a great honor for the courtiers, and the vast majority of officials in the Ming Dynasty have never had such an opportunity in their lives, but Li Hongyu, the new champion, has experienced it twice in three months, which is both a supreme honor and an important qualification.

According to the era name chosen by Zhu Youxiao, next year will be the first year of the Apocalypse, and he will become the emperor of the Apocalypse in history.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to change the name of the year after the death of the Wanli Emperor to the first year of Taichang, after all, the Taichang Emperor is the orthodox Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, although he only reigned for one month and was called "the Son of Heaven in January" by the people, but his era name definitely exists.

In this way, the forty years of Wanli have two era names.

Taking the death of Emperor Wanli on July 21 as the boundary, the year name before July 21 is the 48th year of Wanli, and the year name after July 21 is the first year of Taichang.

This means that the first year of Taichang is not complete, there are no days before July 21, and the 48th year of Wanli is missing the days after July 21.

Compared with the excitement and excitement when he participated in the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Taichang, Li Hongyu's state of mind when he participated in Zhu Youxiao's enthronement ceremony has become calm, and the enthronement ceremony is no longer a mysterious thing for him, and if nothing else, he will also participate in Zhu Youzhen's enthronement ceremony.

Not only that, Li Hongyu's mood is even a little heavy, the party struggle in the court is bound to become more tragic with the advent of the Apocalypse Dynasty, which is a very bad situation for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will become indirect victims of the party struggle.
